My Coolant Temp reads: "XXX" It doesn't register the current temperature??

When I start my car all the gauges set back to normal except my coolant temp gauge stays maxed out in the red and the digital reading reads... XXX degrees F
Anyone else have that problem? Thx!

HI there,
This sensor is located directly in the drivers side cylinder head, behind the alternator. It has a 2 wire connector, yellow and brown are the wiring colors.
Look to make sure that it is connected.
Allthebest, c4c5

Excellent! What you have is a censored sensor, or mabe the XXX means there is astroglide in your coolant.
